How do I get my Kenwood stereo out of Protect Mode?

This is the best quick fix to repair any Kenwood headunit that is stuck into protect mode:

Switch on the CD Player.

Remove the front panel.

Find the reset button and place something into it for 5 seconds.

Its should release itself from the protect mode and reset.

What causes Kenwood protect mode?

Kenwood equips its receivers with a protection mode to safeguard them. Your stereo receiver is going into protection mode because the receiver has an internal short, a speaker is bad or the speaker wiring has a problem, such as incorrect wire gauge or bad connections.

What does it mean when your Kenwood says protect?

"Protect" is an indicator that there are either shorted speaker outputs inside the unit, a shorted speaker wire, or a blown speaker connected to the unit. If you've pressed the reset button, and it's still in "Protect", then disconnect all of the speaker wires connected to the head unit.


Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
